When the battery is in the computer, and the computer is plugged in, it says "Plugged In, Not Charging." How can I get it to charge?

It's possible that the battery is bad, that would be the first thing to check. If not the battery then check the power supply.

Your question is really vague. Do you have it plugged in to an electrical outlet via your power cord, as maybe the battery needs to be charged. Sounds like it isn't getting power? Try that and see what happens.

The battery charger plugs into computer not the battery...???? maybe something is wrong with the charger...take the charger to a computer place and have them check if its putting out ,the charger might not be charging. If you have a voltmeter you can check the charger yourself or maybe the battery they sent you might be bad.

I charge mine with the cord that came with it, it plugs into a regular electrical outlet but you could also use the cord to charge on the computer too. I use the electrical outlet..

The battery might just be fully charged. That was the case with mine.Use the battery a bit then plug it back into the charger. Make sure the charger is plugged into the USB port.

You can't charge it before you install it. What you need to do is take out out battery, then when you insert new battery, merely leave the computer closed and leave it for 12 hours plugged in. That will charge the battery. Be sure you are not temped to open up the computer and try to do something on it while it is charging.

If it's in a Dell, and you aren't using a Dell charger, that could be related. There is a test Dell makes with chargers, and if the charger doesn't pass, it doesn't charge. My battery has been working fine.

if you take the battery pack out then plug into your computer boot up the camera it say "connected" then just insert the battery pack and itll charge. when it has very low battery do this.

If this is an old battery replace it. If this is a new replacement battery, my guess is defective battery, because charging must be working. Laptop works until charger is unpluged.

I think the key is _set the battery in the charger ,making you have + to + and - to - before plugging the charger in the outlet. At this time you should have an empty battery outline on the screen. When you plug the charger in you should se a charging battery image.

You charge it by plugging into your computer. There is no battery to change. Mine lasts a LONG time before needing to charge and it doesn't seem to take very long to get fully charged. So if yours doesn't work after charging a few hours then it is defective.

Unfortunately, I have the same problem and no amount of charging is fixing it. It almost feels like there is actually no battery inside, or it used up its number of possible recharges. Returning it to Amazon. Will try one more time to order this thing.

My laptop still didn't work after I put in the new battery. I don't think it was a problem with the battery but some dysfunction of the computer. The computer failed to keep a charge even with the AC attached.

It has been suggested, and demonstrated to work, by many that you should perform the following steps, which may help you too:1- Remove battery pack from device.2- Insert device into USB port on computer.3- After computer recognizes device, insert battery pack and [safely remove] device.4- Reinsert the device into the USB port with battery pack intact.It should then begin to charge and should respond as usual.Hope that helps!

When you first plug it in, the charging symbol should show up on the screen. If it doesn't, use the AC adaptor. If that doesn't work, you may have a bad battery, or a problem with the unit itself.

Unplug charger, then plug it back in and try to charge it now....don't know why, but that seems to work for me....certainly no the way it should be.
